NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Organization

AMF Bowling Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (which may be referred to as Worldwide, the Company, we, us or our), operate in two business segments:

•

the operation of bowling centers in the United States (“U.S. Centers”) and internationally (“International Centers” and collectively with U.S. Centers, “Centers”); and

•

the manufacture and sale of bowling equipment, such as automatic pinspotters, automatic scoring equipment, bowling pins, lanes, ball returns, lane machines, bowling center supplies and the resale of other related products, including bowling bags and shoes (collectively, “Products”).

As of September 26, 2004, we operated 460 bowling centers worldwide. We operated 368 bowling centers in the U.S. and 92 bowling centers in five foreign countries. On September 30, 2004, we sold our bowling center business that operated 33 bowling centers in the United Kingdom for gross cash proceeds of approximately $71,200 and exited bowling center operations in that country. The results of operations for the centers in the United Kingdom have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and related assets and liabilities are classified as “held for sale” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Products is one of the largest manufacturers of bowling center equipment in the world. Products revenue consists of two major sales categories:

•

New Center Packages (“NCPs”), which is all of the equipment necessary to outfit one lane at a new or existing bowling center; and

•

Modernization and Consumer Products, which is equipment used to upgrade an existing center, spare parts, pins, supplies and consumable products used in the operation of a center, and bowling balls and ancillary products for resale to bowlers.

Products also manufactures and sells its Playmaster, Highland and Renaissance brands of billiard tables.

Worldwide serves as the corporate headquarters of the Company. Its employees provide certain management and administrative services for Centers and Products. Worldwide’s business operations and operating assets are held in subsidiaries. U.S. Centers is primarily operated through AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. (“AMF Centers”), a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Worldwide. International Centers is operated through separate, indirect subsidiaries of Worldwide that operate bowling centers in various countries. Products is primarily operated through AMF Bowling Products, Inc. (“AMF Products”), which is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Worldwide.

Merger

On November 26, 2003, Kingpin Holdings, LLC (“Kingpin Holdings”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kingpin Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Worldwide (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 27, 2004, Merger Sub was merged into Worldwide with Worldwide being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The Company, as it existed after the Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “New Company.” Each shareholder of Worldwide received $25.00 in cash for each share of the common stock of Worldwide that was outstanding prior to the Merger (the “Old Common Stock”) including vested options and warrants, for aggregate proceeds (including option proceeds) of $258,700. The Old Common Stock was canceled and the common stock of Merger Sub became the new common stock of Worldwide (the “New Common Stock”). As part of the Merger, Kingpin Intermediate Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kingpin Holdings, became the sole shareholder of Worldwide.

(unaudited)

Kingpin Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company formed at the direction of Code Hennessy & Simmons LLC, a Chicago-based private equity firm (“CHS”).

Fiscal Year

We report on a retail calendar year, with each quarter comprised of one 5-week period and two 4-week periods. Fiscal year 2004 had 52 weeks and fiscal year 2005 has 53 weeks, with the extra week being reported in the fourth quarter.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report are unaudited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and purchase method accounting adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2004.

Prior to February 27, 2004, we were referred to as the “Reorganized Predecessor Company” and, as we existed on and after February 27, 2004, we are referred to as the “New Company.” Our financial results during the three months ended September 26, 2004 and the three months ended September 28, 2003 are not comparable due to the Merger described above.


Period		Referred to as
Results for the New Company from June 28, 2004 through September 26, 2004		“New Company 2005 First Quarter”

Current maturities		(2,311	)		(2,294	)

Total long-term debt	$	293,704		$	286,503

Credit Agreement

We have $134,358 in term loans (the “Term Loan”) under a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which also has an aggregate revolving loan commitment of $40,000 (the “Revolver”). In September 2004, we entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things, requires us to prepay loans and/or cash collateralize or pay certain letter of credit obligations under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to 20% of the net cash proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets or stock of certain of our subsidiaries that operate overseas. The Amendment also permits us to redeem, purchase, prepay, retire, defease or otherwise acquire our 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 for cash consideration in an amount that does not exceed 80% of net cash proceeds from those sales of assets or stock of certain of our subsidiaries that operate overseas within a specified period of time.

At September 26, 2004, $8,000 was outstanding under the Revolver. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Revolver totaled $18,135 leaving $13,865 available for additional borrowings or letters of credit. Our aggregate letter of credit obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement may not exceed $25,000. The principal amount of the Term Loan must be repaid on a quarterly basis in the amounts and at the times specified in the Credit Agreement, with a final principal payment of $127,608 due on August 27, 2009. Scheduled quarterly

AMF BOWLING WORLDWIDE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(in thousands, except as otherwise noted)

(unaudited)

principal payments of $296 are due on the 30th day of the last month of the calendar quarter. Repayment also is required in amounts specified in the Credit Agreement for certain events including certain asset sale proceeds and equity and debt offering proceeds. The Credit Agreement requires the frequency of interest payments to be not less than quarterly and an annual mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan based on a percentage of free cash flow, ranging from 25-75%, as specified in the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets and a 65% pledge of the capital stock of certain first tier foreign subsidiaries. Certain of our U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed, or are directly obligated on, the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain events of default including cross default provisions.

Subordinated Notes

We have $150,000 of 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Subordinated Notes”) with interest payable semi-annually. The Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated February 27, 2004 (the “Indenture”). The Subordinated Notes are expressly subordinated to the payment of the Credit Agreement and any other senior indebtedness; contain affirmative and negative covenants that are customary to high yield instruments and generally no more restrictive than those contained in the Credit Agreement; contain certain events of default including cross default provisions; are unsecured; and have the benefit of guarantees of certain of the U.S. subsidiaries. Subject to certain exceptions, the Subordinated Notes may not be redeemed at our option before March 1, 2007. Thereafter, the Subordinated Notes are redeemable in the manner provided in the Indenture at redemption prices equal to 105.00% during the 12 month period beginning March 1, 2007, 102.50% during the 12 month period beginning March 1, 2008 and 100.00% beginning on March 1, 2009 and thereafter. Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we are required to offer to purchase the Subordinated Notes at 101.00% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. Subject to certain restrictions and conditions, the Indenture permits the payment of a dividend or distribution to Kingpin Intermediate Corp. or the repurchase or redemption of shares of Worldwide or any parent of Worldwide of up to 35% of the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture) from the sale of International Operations (as defined in the Indenture).

NOTE 9. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO RESOLUTION

Liabilities subject to resolution in the Chapter 11 proceeding were $233 at September 26, 2004 and June 27, 2004. These balances consist primarily of real and personal property taxes expected to be paid upon settlement of the claim or over a six year period.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Equipment Warranties

The following table provides a roll-forward from June 27, 2004 of our estimated exposure related to equipment warranties for the period ended September 26, 2004:

Provision		66
Payments		(60	)
Exchange rate effect		(1	)

Balance, September 26, 2004	$	1,141

The warranty reserve is evaluated on a regular basis to determine its adequacy. The reserve is based upon prior experience and management’s estimates.

Asset Sales

From time to time, we will sell real estate on which a bowling center is operated, either in connection with the closing of a bowling center or in response to an attractive offer to buy such real estate. In addition, we will, from time to time, sell excess real estate.

The following table shows our asset sales for the New Company 2005 First Quarter:


	Proceeds		Gain/ (loss), net
U.S. Centers:
Excess property	$	1,515	$	528

International Centers (a):
Bowling centers (b)		13,381		9,473

Total asset sales	$	14,896	$	10,001

(a)	See Note 13 for information regarding the sale of our bowling center operations in the United Kingdom and Australia.

(b)	Includes three bowling centers in Australia which were sold in connection with sale-leaseback agreements for proceeds of $12,806 and gains of $9,928.

Net gains on sale of property and equipment are $9,222, and include the asset sales above. Centers net gains are included in bowling center operating expenses and Products net gains are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Litigation and Claims

We currently and from time to time are subject to claims and actions arising in the ordinary course of our business, including general liability, workers’ compensation, employee compensation and environmental claims. In some actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance. In management’s opinion, the claims and actions in which we are involved are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. In addition, we are a defendant in certain actions alleging violations of federal legislation involving unsolicited communications. These actions were brought by plaintiffs who allegedly received unsolicited communications from us or from an agent on our behalf. The plaintiffs in these actions seek statutory damages and have requested geographically-limited class certifications. In one of these actions, which was brought in Georgia state court, the court recently approved a settlement of the class action. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of the remaining action. From time to time, we resolve claims alleging similar violations in order to avoid litigation.

Effects of Threatened European Community Tariff Increases

The Commission of the European Community increased tariffs this year on certain U.S. exports to the countries comprising the European Community (the “EC”) in response to benefits for U.S. exporters under the U.S. Foreign Sales Corporation/Extraterritorial Income Exclusion tax regimes, which were declared in violation of U.S. obligations by the World Trade Organization (the “WTO”). A substantial portion of our bowling products imported into the EC is subject to the additional duty. The additional duty was 5% ad valorem in March 2004 and increases 1% each month thereafter up to a maximum of 14%. The U.S. Congress recently enacted legislation which was intended to address the issues raised by the EC. Until the EC or the WTO responds to this action, there can be no assurance that the additional duty will be removed or the sanctions will not have an adverse impact on our sales in the EC or margin.

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On September 30, 2004, we sold our bowling center business that operated 33 bowling centers in the United Kingdom for gross cash proceeds of approximately $71,200.

On October 19, 2004, we signed a definitive agreement to sell our 45 operating bowling centers in Australia for approximately $49,300, subject to certain adjustments to be made at closing. The sale will also include the real estate associated with one closed bowling center. The transaction is expected to close by the end of November 2004, subject to certain closing conditions. Following consummation of the sale, we will have exited all bowling center operations in Australia.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

AMF Bowling Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and its subsidiaries (which may be referred to as Worldwide, the Company, we, us or our) operate in two business segments: bowling center operations (“Centers”) and bowling products operations (“Products”). At September 26, 2004, Centers, the largest segment, represented 79.3% of consolidated revenue. In reviewing Centers, management focuses on revenue, operating expenses and capital expenditures. In reviewing Products, management focuses on working capital as well as revenue, operating expenses and gross profit margin.

To facilitate a meaningful comparison, certain portions of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) discuss the results of Centers and Products separately.

The MD&A discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain totals may be affected by rounding. Unless the context otherwise indicates, dollar amounts in this MD&A are in millions.

Our Centers segment includes the operation of the U.S. and international facilities, which together operated 460 centers as of September 26, 2004. On September 30, 2004, we sold 33 centers in the United Kingdom for gross cash proceeds of approximately $71.2 million and exited bowling center operations in that country. The results of operations for the centers in the United Kingdom are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Our Products segment includes the manufacture of bowling equipment such as automatic pinspotters, automatic scoring equipment, bowling pins, lanes, ball returns, lane machines, bowling center supplies and the resale of other related products, including bowling bags and shoes.

Merger

On November 26, 2003, Kingpin Holdings, LLC (“Kingpin Holdings”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kingpin Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Worldwide (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 27, 2004, Merger Sub was merged into Worldwide with Worldwide being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The Company, as it existed after the Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “New Company.” Each shareholder of Worldwide received $25.00 in cash for each share of the common stock of Worldwide that was outstanding prior to the Merger (the “Old Common Stock”) including vested options and warrants, for aggregate proceeds (including option proceeds) of $258.7 million. The Old Common Stock was canceled and the common stock of Merger Sub became the new common stock of Worldwide (the “New Common Stock”). As part of the Merger, Kingpin Intermediate Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kingpin Holdings, became the sole shareholder of Worldwide.

Kingpin Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company formed at the direction of Code Hennessy & Simmons LLC, a Chicago-based private equity firm (“CHS”).

Consolidated Results

The results of operations of the consolidated group of companies, Centers and Products are discussed below. The business segment results are presented before intersegment eliminations since we believe this provides a more accurate comparison of performance by segment. The intersegment eliminations are included in the consolidated results and are not material.

Prior to February 27, 2004, we were referred to as the “Reorganized Predecessor Company” and, as we existed on and after February 27, 2004, are referred to as the “New Company.” As a result of the Merger, our financial results during the three months ended September 26, 2004 and the three months ended September 28, 2003 are not comparable due to the Merger described above.

2005 First Quarter compared with 2004 First Quarter

Revenue

Consolidated operating revenue was $131.4 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 5.3%, compared with the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. This decrease was partially attributable to a $2.6 million decrease in U.S. constant center revenue due primarily to a decrease in league lineage (number of games bowled per lane per day). In addition, closed centers represent a $1.9 million negative variance compared with the prior year period. Products revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 3.6%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in international constant center revenue as a result of favorable foreign exchange rates.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.5 million, or 10.4%, in the New Company 2005 First Quarter compared with the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million decrease in depreciation as a result of the sale-leaseback agreements that were entered into in conjunction with the Merger (the “Sale-Leaseback Agreements”). Additionally, Centers depreciation decreased as a result of machinery and equipment acquired in 1996 becoming fully depreciated. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in depreciation primarily attributable to adjustments made as a result of the application of purchase method accounting related to the Merger of $2.0 million and $0.3 million for U.S. Centers and Products, respectively.

Asset Impairment

In the New Company 2005 First Quarter we recorded $1.3 million related to asset impairment charges representing the difference between the fair market value and carrying value of impaired assets in the U.S.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased $2.7 million, or 29.7%, in the New Company 2005 First Quarter compared with the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter, primarily the result of lower principal amounts and interest rates under our senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).

Provision for Income Taxes

Total income tax expense increased to $3.4 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter from $0.1 million in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter, primarily due to the estimated gain on the sale of certain Australian bowling center properties.

Net Loss

Net loss for the New Company 2005 First Quarter totaled $12.9 million compared with a net loss of $12.7 million in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. This change was primarily attributable to the decreases in revenue discussed above as well as charges incurred in the New Company 2005 First Quarter of $0.5 million related to certain senior management severance obligations which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and bowling center operating expenses and $0.3 million related to costs incurred in conjunction with the Merger. These items are partially offset by the decrease in depreciation and amortization as discussed above as well as a decrease in cost of sales and operating expenses. In the New Company 2005 First Quarter, we recognized $0.5 million in gains related to the disposal of two Products branches and a 4.2 million gain related to an arbitration settlement regarding one of our leases in France. Additionally, the loss contributed from our discontinued operations decreased by $1.1 million.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss for the New Company 2005 First Quarter totaled $14.8 million compared with $12.1 million in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. The decrease in the loss was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue as discussed above as well as an increase in the foreign currency translation adjustment.

Centers

Centers results reflect operations in our U.S. bowling centers (“U.S. Centers”) and our international bowling centers (“International Centers”). The results of operations for the centers in the United Kingdom have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and are not included in the tables or discussion below.

To facilitate a meaningful comparison, the constant center results discussed below reflect the results of 426 centers (367 U.S. Centers and 59 International Centers) that have been in operation one full fiscal year as of June 27, 2004.

The three principal sources of revenue and the percentage of each to total revenue is presented below:


	New Company		Reorganized Predecessor Company
	2005 First Quarter		2004 First Quarter
Revenue:
Bowling	57.1	%	57.9	%
Food and beverage	26.3	%	26.1	%
Ancillary sources	16.6	%	16.0	%

Bowling revenue, the largest component of a center’s revenue, is derived from league play and recreational play, each representing approximately 50% of annual bowling revenue in U.S. Centers. League lineage (number of games bowled per lane per day) has been declining for a number of years. Recreational play includes managed, or scheduled play (such as birthday or corporate parties), and open, or unscheduled play. The decline in U.S. Centers revenue that could be expected from the decline in lineage has been generally offset with price increases.

International Centers, which currently operates in four different countries, has an average bowling lineage mix of approximately 61% recreational lineage and 39% league lineage. Lineage has been declining for a number of years. Australia has experienced the most significant decline in lineage, particularly in league play. With the exception of Australia, the impact on revenue from the decline in International Centers lineage has also been generally offset with price increases. Price increases have generally paralleled local country inflation rates.

On September 30, 2004, we sold our bowling center business that operated 33 bowling centers in the United Kingdom for gross cash proceeds of approximately $71.2 million and exited bowling center operations in that country.

On October 19, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our 45 operating bowling centers in Australia for approximately $49.3 million, subject to certain adjustments to be made at closing. The sale will also include the real estate associated with one closed bowling center. The transaction is expected to close by the end of November 2004, subject to certain closing conditions. Following the consummation of the sale, we will have exited our bowling center operations in Australia.

2005 First Quarter compared with 2004 First Quarter

Centers operating revenue for the New Company 2005 First Quarter decreased $3.4 million, or 3.2%, as compared to the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. U.S. constant center revenue decreased $2.6 million, or 2.9%, primarily the result of a decrease in league lineage. Revenue was negatively impacted in the New Company 2005 First Quarter by hurricanes and tropical storms in Florida and in the southern and mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. and a delay in the start of the league season due to the timing of Labor Day in September 2004 versus September 2003. Also contributing to this decrease is a decline in revenue of $1.9 million attributable to the closure of 16 bowling centers since June 29, 2003. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in international constant center revenue of $1.0 million, or 5.8%, primarily attributable to a favorable foreign exchange rate variance of $1.0 million. Additionally, new center revenue increased $0.1 million.

Bowling center operating expenses increased $0.9 million, or 1.1%. This increase was primarily due to increases in U.S. constant center operating expenses of $8.2 million, or 12.3%, of which $7.3 million is attributable to an increase in rent as a result of the Sale-Leaseback Agreements. Excluding the impact of the increase in rent expense, U.S. constant center operating expenses increased approximately 1.0%. International center operating expenses increased $2.2 million, or 17.3%, partially attributable to an unfavorable foreign exchange rate variance of $0.6 million. Additionally, U.S. Centers incurred charges of $0.2 million related to certain senior management severance obligations. This increase was partially offset by an $8.7 million gain recognized in International Centers related to gains on disposals of fixed assets while U.S. Centers recognized $0.5 million related to gains on disposals of assets. Additionally, operating expenses decreased $1.1 million due to closed bowling centers. As a percentage of revenue, Centers operating expenses were 82.1% for the New Company 2005 First Quarter and 78.5% for the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.7 million, or 13.7%, primarily attributable to a $1.8 million decrease as a result of the Sale-Leaseback Agreements. Additionally, U.S. Centers depreciation decreased as a result of machinery and equipment acquired in 1996 becoming fully depreciated. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in depreciation of $2.0 million primarily attributable to adjustments made as a result of the application of purchase method accounting related to the Merger.

Operating loss was $3.1 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter versus operating income of $0.6 million in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter primarily due to the decrease in revenue partially offset by the decreases in operating expenses and depreciation and amortization as discussed above. Additionally, Centers recorded charges related to asset impairment resulting from center closures of $1.3 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter.

(a)	Before intersegment eliminations.

2005 First Quarter compared with 2004 First Quarter

Products operating revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 3.6%, primarily attributable to decreased revenue in Europe and Japan of $2.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue in the U.S. of $1.8 million.

Gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 9.0%. The gross profit margin was 23.1% in the New Company 2005 First Quarter compared with 24.5% in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. The decreased margin percentage was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue as well as increased material expenses.

Products selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 12.9%, compared with the prior year quarter. The decrease in expenses is primarily attributable to the recognition of $0.7 million in gains on the disposal of two Products branches. This decrease was partially offset by increases in advertising and promotion as well as payroll expense.

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.3 million, or 20.0%, primarily due to adjustments made as a result of the application of purchase method accounting related to the Merger.

Operating income was $0.9 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 25.0%, when compared with the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to the decrease in revenue in the international markets partially offset by the gains on disposal as discussed above.

Liquidity - Capital Resources – Asset Sales – Capital Expenditures

General

We have $134.4 million in term loans (the “Term Loan”) under our Credit Agreement which also has an aggregate revolving loan commitment of $40.0 million (the “Revolver”).

We generally rely on cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Revolver to fund our liquidity and capital expenditure needs. Our ability to repay our indebtedness will depend on future performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors. Management believes that available cash flow from operations and borrowings available or capacity under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund its liquidity and capital expenditure needs.

Liquidity

As of September 26, 2004, working capital was $28.3 million compared with a working capital deficit of $15.5 million at June 27, 2004. Excluding assets and liabilities held for sale, working capital was a deficit of $10.4 million at September 26, 2004. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable of $7.5 million as well as an increase in cash and inventory of $3.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $5.2 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.1 million and a $0.9 million increase in accrued liabilities.

Operating Cash Flow


	New Company			Reorganized Predecessor Company
	2005 First Quarter			2004 First Quarter
Cash flows from operating activities:
Before changes in assets and liabilities	$	(8.0	)	$	1.1
Working capital		28.3			(14.2	)
Other changes		(24.7	)		10.1
Discontinued operations		(0.3	)		0.9

Total	$	(4.7	)	$	(2.1	)

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.7 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter compared with $2.1 million in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter, an increase of $2.6 million. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily the result of an $8.5 million gain on the sale of property and equipment as well as an increase in cash used by working capital.

Investing


	New Company			Reorganized Predecessor Company
	2005 First Quarter			2004 First Quarter
Cash flows from investing activities:
Purchases of property and equipment	$	(11.7	)	$	(9.1	)
Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment		14.9			0.9

Total	$	3.2		$	(8.2	)

Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.2 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter compared with net cash used in investing activities of $8.2 million in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. In the New Company 2005 First Quarter we received proceeds of $13.4 million related to the sale of property and equipment in Australia. Additionally, we received $1.5 million in proceeds related to excess property in the U.S. This increase in cash flow was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures primarily related to Centers capital improvements.

Financing

	2005 First Quarter			2004 First Quarter
Cash flows from financing activities:
Borrowings (repayments) of debt, net	$	7.3		$	(20.3	)
Payments under capital lease obligations		(0.1	)		(0.1	)

Total	$	7.2		$	(20.4	)

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.2 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter compared with net cash used in financing activities of $20.4 million in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter. In the New Company 2005 First Quarter we borrowed $8.0 million on our revolving line of credit and made payments of approximately $0.6 million on the Term Loan.

Capital Resources

The following table shows our debt balances at September 26, 2004 and June 27, 2004


	September 26, 2004		June 27, 2004
Term Loan	$	134.4	$	135.0
Subordinated Notes, 10%, due 2010		150.0		150.0
Revolver		8.0		—
Mortgage note and capitalized leases		3.6		3.8

Total debt	$	296.0	$	288.8

In September 2004, we entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things, requires us to prepay loans and/or cash collateralize or pay certain letter of credit obligations under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to 20% of the net cash proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets or stock of certain of our subsidiaries that operate overseas. The Amendment also permits us to redeem, purchase, prepay, retire, defease or otherwise acquire our 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 for cash consideration that does not exceed 80% of net cash proceeds from those sales of assets or stock of certain of our subsidiaries that operate overseas within a specified period of time.

At September 26, 2004, $8.0 million was outstanding under the Revolver. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Revolver totaled $18.1 million leaving $13.9 million available for additional borrowings or letters of credit. The Revolver continues to be available for our working capital and general corporate needs, subject to customary borrowing conditions. We made a $0.3 million repayment, required due to certain asset sale proceeds during the New Company 2005 First Quarter.

Both the Credit Agreement and the Indenture contain certain restrictive covenants, including the achievement of certain financial covenants and maximum levels of capital expenditures. We are in compliance with the covenants as of September 26, 2004.

On October 8, 2004, we repaid the $8.0 million outstanding on the Revolver. Additionally, on October 14, 2004, we made a required repayment under our Credit Agreement of approximately $16.1 million due to the sale of our bowling center operations in the United Kingdom, property sales in Australia and a lease termination in France. These repayments are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 26, 2004. Non-scheduled prepayments under the Credit Agreement are applied ratably to the remaining scheduled principal payments.

Asset Sales

From time to time, we will sell real estate on which a bowling center is or was operated, either in connection with the closing of a bowling center or in response to an attractive offer to buy the property.

The following table shows our asset sales for the New Company 2005 First Quarter:


	Net Proceeds		Gain/ (loss), net
U.S. Centers:
Excess property	$	1.5	$	0.5

International Centers:
Bowling centers		13.4		9.5

Total asset sales	$	14.9	$	10.0

On September 30, 2004, we sold 33 bowling centers in the United Kingdom for gross cash proceeds of approximately $71.2 million and exited bowling center operations in that country.

On October 19, 2004, we signed a definitive agreement to sell our 45 operating bowling centers in Australia for approximately $49.3 million, subject to certain adjustment to be made at closing. The sale will also include the real estate associated with one closed bowling center. The transaction is expected to close by the end of November 2004, subject to certain closing conditions. Following consummation of the sale, we will have exited all bowling center operations in Australia.

Capital Expenditures


	New Company		Reorganized Predecessor Company
	2005 First Quarter		2004 First Quarter
Centers	$	10.2	$	8.3
Products		0.7		0.3
Corporate		0.8		0.5

Total	$	11.7	$	9.1

Capital expenditures increased $2.6 million in the New Company 2005 First Quarter compared to the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter primarily due to increased Centers expenditures. Capital expenditures are primarily funded from cash generated from operations.

Seasonality and Market Development Cycles

Centers business is seasonal, primarily due to the bowling league season that begins in late summer and ends in mid spring. Cash flow from operations typically peaks in the winter and is lower in the summer.

Products sales are also seasonal, most notably in Modernization and Consumer Products sales in the U.S. While U.S. bowling center operators purchase spare parts, supplies and consumer products throughout the year, they often place larger orders during the late spring and early summer in preparation for the start of league play in the late summer. Summer is also generally the peak period for installation of modernization equipment in the U.S. Operators in the U.S. typically sign purchase orders for modernization equipment during the spring, which is then shipped and installed during the summer when U.S. bowling centers generally have fewer bowlers.

International Operations

Our international operations are subject to the usual risks inherent in operating internationally, including, but not limited to, currency exchange rate fluctuations, economic and political instability, other disruption of markets, restrictive laws, tariffs and other actions by foreign governments (such as restrictions on transfer of funds, import and export duties and quotas, foreign customs, tariffs and value added taxes and unexpected changes in regulatory environments), difficulty in obtaining distribution and support for products, the risk of nationalization, the laws and policies of the U.S. affecting trade, international investment and loans, and foreign tax law changes. As is the case of other U.S.-based manufacturers with export sales, local currency devaluation increases the cost of Products bowling equipment. In addition, local currency devaluation negatively impacts the translation of operating results from International Centers.

Foreign currency exchange rates also impact the translation of operating results from International Centers and Products. International Centers represented 14.2% and 13.0% of consolidated revenue for the New Company 2005 First Quarter and the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter, respectively. For the New Company 2005 First Quarter International Centers represented $7.4 million in operating income of the $7.9 million consolidated operating loss and in the 2004 First Quarter International Centers represented $1.8 million in operating income of the $3.5 million consolidated operating loss.

Products international operations represented 8.4% and 10.2% of consolidated revenue for the New Company 2005 First Quarter and the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter, respectively. For the New Company 2005 First Quarter Products international operations represented $2.1 million in operating income of the $7.9 million consolidated operating loss and in the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter Products international operations represented $0.5 million in operating loss of the $3.5 million consolidated operating loss.

Impact of Inflation

We historically offset the impact of inflation through price increases. Periods of high inflation could have a material adverse impact on us to the extent that increased borrowing costs for floating rate debt may not be offset by increases in cash flow. There was no significant impact on our operations as a result of inflation during the New Company 2005 First Quarter or the Reorganized Predecessor Company 2004 First Quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, GAAP requires management to select and apply accounting policies that involve estimates and judgment. The following accounting policies may require a higher degree of judgment or involve amounts that could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting policies disclosed below have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of our parent company.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Products maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make payment. Management determines the allowance based upon an evaluation of individual accounts, aging of the portfolio, issues raised by customers that may suggest non payment, historical experience and/or the current economic environment. A substantial portion of the allowance relates to the sale of NCP packages to international customers. If the financial condition of individual customers or countries in which Products operates or the general worldwide economy were to vary materially from the assumptions made by management, the allowance may require adjustment in the future. Products evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a regular basis, modifying, as necessary, its assumptions, updating its record of historical experience and adjusting reserves as appropriate.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or the asset group may not be recoverable. Factors that are considered in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of a center or product line in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. As a result, we have closed certain individual center locations with some regularity. Recoverability of assets that will continue to be used in operations is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the related total future net cash flows. If an asset’s carrying value is not recoverable through those cash flows, the asset is considered to be impaired. The impairment is measured by the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its fair value, based on the best information available, including market prices or a discounted cash flow analysis.

Inventory Obsolescence

As we monitor working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities), net inventory represents approximately 37% of our current assets (excluding discontinued operations). Products evaluates the levels, composition and salability of its inventory on a regular basis. The evaluations include assumptions regarding potential sales of such inventory, estimated time periods over which such sales might take place and assessment of the potential usability of such inventory in future production. Products modifies, as necessary, its assumptions, updates its record of historical experience and adjusts its reserves as appropriate.

Equipment Warranties

Warranty expense is an indicator of product quality and handling. Products sells capital equipment where warranty and after sale service are very important to the customer. Products generally warrants all new products for one year and maintains an estimated reserve for future warranty obligations. The reserve is determined based on prior warranty experience. If future warranty experience were to vary materially, management would review the reserve and make any appropriate adjustment. Products evaluates the adequacy of the reserve on a regular basis, modifying as necessary, its assumptions, updating its record of historical experience and adjusting its reserves as appropriate.

Self Insurance, Litigation and Claims

We self-insure certain risks up to established limits, including general and product liability exposures, workers compensation, health care coverage, and property damage. Other risks, such as litigation and claims relating to contractual disputes and employment issues, may not be covered by insurance. The reserves related to such self-insurance programs and to such other risks are determined based on estimates of future settlements and costs of known and anticipated claims as well as on forces impacting the current economic environment. In the case of matters in litigation or involving threatened litigation, legal advice on our potential liability and the potential for the award of damages is considered in making any estimate. We maintain systems to track and monitor these risks. If actual results were to vary materially from the assumptions, management would review the reserve and make any appropriate adjustment. We evaluate the adequacy of these reserves on a regular basis, modifying, as necessary, our assumptions, updating our records of historical experience and adjusting reserves as appropriate.

Deferred Tax Assets

Management periodically reviews our gross deferred tax assets to determine if it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Such periodic reviews include, among other things, the nature and amount of the tax income and expense items, the expected timing when certain assets will be used or liabilities will be required to be reported, available tax planning strategies, and the reliability of profitability projections of businesses expected to provide future earnings. If after conducting such a review, management determines that the realization of the tax asset does not meet the “more likely than not” criteria of SFAS No.109, an offsetting valuation allowance is recorded, thereby reducing net earnings and the deferred tax asset in that period. Due to our historical and expected future earnings from operations, management concluded that we “more likely than not” will not realize the benefit of a majority of our deferred tax assets. If expectations for future performance, the timing of deductibility of expenses, or tax statutes change in the future, we could decide to adjust the valuation allowance, which may increase or decrease income tax expense.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these risks through normal operating and financing activities and through the use of interest rate cap agreements. At September 26, 2004, no interest rate cap agreements were outstanding. There are no other derivative instruments outstanding. Management periodically reviews its exposure to changes in interest rates and may enter into an interest rate cap agreement as it deems appropriate.

As with other U.S.-based exporters, local currency devaluations increase the cost of our bowling equipment in that market. As a result, a strengthening U.S. dollar exchange rate may adversely impact sales volume and profit margins. Foreign currency exchange rates also impact the translation of operating results from the international bowling centers.

From time to time we use interest rate cap agreements to mitigate the effect of changes in interest rates on variable rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement. While we are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements, in all cases such counterparties are highly-rated financial institutions and we do not anticipate non-performance. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The following table provides information about our fixed and variable-rate debt at September 26, 2004, weighted average interest rates and respective maturity dates.


Maturity Date	Fixed Rate Debt		Weighted Average Interest Rate		Variable Rate Debt		Weighted Average Interest Rate
September 1, 2010	$	150.0	10.00	%		—	—
August 27, 2009		—	—		$	134.4	4.45	%

The fair value of the Term Loan and the Subordinated Notes at September 26, 2004 was approximately $134.4 million and $158.2 million, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Effects of Threatened European Community Tariff Increases

Regulatory Matters

State and local governments require bowling centers to hold permits to sell alcoholic beverages, and, although regulations vary from state to state, once permits are issued, they generally remain in place indefinitely (except for routine renewals). There are no unique regulations applicable to bowling center operations or bowling equipment manufacturing. Currently, and from time to time, we are subject to claims relating to the violations of such regulations.

Our operations are also subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of, and establish standards for the handling, generation, emission, release, discharge, treatment, storage and disposal of, certain materials, substances and wastes.

Currently and from time to time, we are subject to environmental and other regulatory claims. In management’s opinion, the various claims in respect of which we are currently involved, is not likely to have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We cannot predict with any certainty whether existing conditions or future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations, may give rise to additional costs. Furthermore, actions by federal, state, local and foreign governments could result in laws or regulations that could increase the cost of producing our products, or providing our services, or otherwise adversely affect the demand for our products or services.
